Hi, everyone.

I am using a portal with a button that performs the Open URL script step using text in a field from the portal's related record. It works as expected in every portal row in FM Pro but not in IWP.

I've tried all variations of making the url a button such as a global and local graphic, the url text field itself, or another text description field that points to the url link in a button.

All work in the program but not on the web. I put the button outside of the portal and the GoToURL works but only references the first occurrence of the portal, of course.

Is using the Open URL script step in a portal another function that doesn't perform in IWP?

If so, is there a workaround to make this work?

I really appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks!

David

It sounds as though you have got the button set up directly to use the Open URL command. Use the Perform Script option to run a script that takes the text from the field in the portal and executes the Open URL script without a dialog.

From p. 36 of the FM IWP Guide:

Open URL: Opens a complete URL from a text or calculation field in a new browser window (URL must contain “http://” if the target URL starts with “http://”).
